I'm hoping Krys is around and can keep me abreast of everything going on, on the island. I am crossing my fingers and praying that this storm doesn't do damage to T&C. I have been unable to reach Diane so far. I tried sending emails, Monday, yesterday and today...nothing. Not sure if internet service is down on the island or having any problems. We have been having heavy rains here in Miami so I can only imagine they have been having lots of bad weather as well. I'm worried!

Sounds good CamLovesJa, just let me know when you are ready.

Your wedding looks like it was tons of fun and you looked beautiful!

Thanks for sharing your pics were gorgeous!

Wonderful pics. Congrats!

Beautiful pics! Congrats!

Great job!

Your pics are beautiful, you looked gorgeous on your day. Congrats and thanks for sharing!

I put all 24 of the white candles on my digital scale and all together they weigh 4 pounds

Today you will celebrate in front of friends and family and I hope your wedding day is more than you dreamed it would be. Lots and lots of hugs, and can't wait to hear about it all and see your pics!!!!

Each candle is 2 inches tall and 2 inches wide.

Hi Krys I knew that they have been coming down alot recently and have actually been penalizing people which is why I thought I would caution greysgirl would hate to see anyone get fined.

You are right that a photographer coming in does need a temporary work permit ($500 and immigration may or may not approve the permit).  Hotels are increasingly being watched by immigration and are enforcing the countries laws on illegal workers.  Many people do try to sneak in their own vendors though.  It's just the way things are, but we are hearing more and more hotels being watched by immigration and they in turn are making sure that people from off island must get the proper permits before working otherwise, they will penalized as well. 

 

Krys

Everything looks wonderful! Congrats!

I voted numero uno!

The baby tags are so adorable!! I love your theme of the two sea horses and your shrug is divine. Everything looks wonderful!! Have a wonderful wedding day and thanks for sharing with us.

As many of you ladies know I went on a shopping frenzy throughout my planning process. Now that I am all packed up I am selling some favors I had initially bought but have absolutely no room for in my luggage (I have two checked bags, two 25gallon rubbermaids and my carry-on and dress). My loss is your gain. I have 24 pink rose ball candle favors and 24 white. I will be selling them for $1/each (not including shipping). They are absolutely adorable and smell really good. They can be used as favors or if they match your colors for your wedding why not use them on your tables at your reception instead of boring old tea lights, they'll add elegance and a great garden smell to the table. 

Hi greysgirl, yes I am super excited!! I have everything packed and I am ready to go. I have been shopping within these last few days for honeymoon attire and finalizing things for that. 

How did you get permission to take your photographer? Just wondering since even when we were considering Gansevoort we were told we couldn't bring our own photographer as vendors coming on the island need to have a work permit from the government to shoot or perform other such duties. Is Teresa handling your wedding? She handles all the weddings at Gansevoort? She got your photographer cleared with management at the resort? Just wondering if the rules have changed. Its actually a rule of thumb at all the hotels on the island but if the rule has changed that would be good info for future brides. 

Good luck with your engagement shoot and all your planning!

We have decided to fly our photographer down to the T&C with us and we're super excited. He rocks and will be tons of fun too.  We've tried 3 times now to take our engagement photos only to cancel due to our crazy weather here.  Last night was attempt #3 and our wind speeds were 25-30mph...not good for hair!  Ha!  So we'll try again next week.  I am anxious to get out our STDs for our AHR though.

 

We are leaning towards the Gansevoort.  Has anyone had any experiences (good or bad) with this resort?  It is gorgeous.  We also are considering the Veranda and the Sommerset.  At least all of these choices are great ones:)

 

I can't wait.....less than 6 months!

Good luck Nicdeb928! I know everything is gonna be just perfect and your day is going to be awesome. Hope to see your planning thread.

Welcome mishrn!
